[BUG]: Error in contribution flow through the jargons editor

[motuncoded]

Has this bug been raised before?

• I have checked "open" AND "closed" issues and this is not a duplicate

Description

When submitting a word for contribution. The contribution flow breaks at the point where the jargons editor should add the labels to the pull request.

This leads to the editor stuck but PR is created without the labels.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to jargons editor page.
2. Fill the form to submit a word
3. Click the button to submit

Expected behavior

The submit button should load and turn green with a checkmark icon, get redirected to the jargons editor dashboard then a pull request is created with appropriate label added to it.

Actual behavior

The submit button loads and stop. The user don't get directed to the dashboard and a pull request gets created and no label added.

Do you want to work on this issue?

No

If "yes" to above, please explain how you would technically implement this

No response

Hey @motuncoded,

Thank you for reporting this, I figured the reason for this because of the permission we've configured in the App creation manifest in the dev/setup script at

jargons.dev/dev/setup.js

Lines 10 to 12 in 9a1c990

	default_permissions: {
	issues: "write",
	},

We are trying to add the label "📖new-word","💻via-jargons-editor" to the contribution pull request... so apparently we need write permission to pull_requests. We only configure permission for issues.

If this is something you'd like to work on.... Here a step to fixing.

• Go to the directory dev/setup.js
• Modify the Line 11 to read pull_requests: "write" replacing the issues: "write"

That's all 😉

I would like to work on it
